Chapter 495 Sadness comes from it

The brilliance is dazzling.

It was full of gold and silver, not gold and silver, but more expensive than gold and silver.

Yingning picked up a small jade Buddha statue and looked at it for a while.

Everything in this box is a rare treasure. If you take it out and sell it, it will be enough to live a good life with plenty of food and clothing.

No wonder that as a concubine, she had been saving slowly for more than ten years before finally saving this box.

On the top of the box is a letter.

Yingning put down the Jade Buddha and picked up the letter.

The three words "Ying Ning Qi" were written on the letter.

The font is dignified, just like Concubine Shu herself.

Ying Ning looked at the familiar words, and something in her heart was suddenly violently stirred.

During these days, I would keep vigil at Concubine Shu's body, pay her respects, and be busy greeting her and sending her off, kneeling and kowtowing.

She was a little numb.

Looking at Xiao Shiyi's sad look and looking at the tears of other concubines, Ying Ning didn't shed a single tear.

In the quiet of the night, she would ask herself whether, after her rebirth, she had become a ruthless and selfish person who showed no mercy when killing people. Even when her aunt, who was as close to her as mother and daughter, died, she was indifferent.

However, at this moment, these two simple words on the envelope in front of her made her feel so sad that she could not contain it.

She knelt down on the ground, leaned her head on the rosewood box, and cried silently.

My aunt is really dead.

She really felt it.

She can no longer deceive herself.

From now on, there will never be another aunt.

She lost that warm and fragrant embrace.

I lost the bowl of bird's nest porridge that my aunt made in the morning.

She also lost her gentle eyes and her loving smile.

The wind chimes hanging on the porch tinkled softly.

There were gentle footsteps behind me.

It is said that on the first seven days, the soul of the deceased will come back to visit the person she misses the most.

Is my aunt really back?

Ying Ning turned around suddenly——

She was stunned.

The person who came was wearing a white shirt and had long hair.

With tears in her eyes, she thought it was really her aunt's soul.

However, she soon realized that it was not a soul, but a living person.

Because the man's shadow trailed long behind him.

Ying Ning raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and then she saw clearly that it was a stunningly beautiful young man with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel.

Although he is dusty, his supreme elegance cannot be concealed.

"You..." Yingning was stunned, "Gu Changyuan, why are you here?"

Gu Changyuan stepped forward and looked at her face intently for a moment.

Her eyes were red at this time and her face was full of tears.

Ying Ning turned away and wiped her face with her sleeves.

"I heard that Imperial Concubine Shu is gone. Come back and have a look." He said.

"Has the emperor agreed to your leaving the fief?" Ying Ning asked.

Gu Changyuan shook his head: "I am afraid that my request to return to Beijing is still on the way."

Minzhong County is thousands of miles away from the capital, but he came back in only seven days.

It must have been traveled day and night, constantly changing horses at the inn, and it was possible to achieve this at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

Ying Ning closed the box casually, sat down and asked, "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the emperor for leaving the fiefdom privately like this?"

"It doesn't matter."

"What are you doing back here?" Ying Ning looked at him sideways. Although her expression was calm, there were still tears in her eyes and her eyes were red, making her look a little pitiful.

Gu Changyuan said: "I'll come back... to see Ci'er. I want to Ci'er."

"Yeah?"

Yingning naturally didn't believe it.

If you want to say goodbye, you won't rush back in such a dusty way.

Gu Changyuan was silent for a while, looked at the empty room, and said, "I didn't expect that something would happen to Imperial Concubine Shu. You have a deep relationship with her, and I feel bad thinking about it."
